STAS

The Scottish Type Approval Scheme (STAS) is a Local Authority Building Standards Scotland (LABSS) product that is now managed, operated and administered by the Scottish Building Standards Hub (SBSH).

STAS is a national approval scheme that allows customers to have their building design, or system design pre-approved, which then quickens the building warrant application process as only site-specific elements require to be checked.  This also aids verifiers as they spend considerably less time and resource assessing applications accompanied by a STAS certificate. All Scottish local authority verifiers accept STAS approved designs.

If you wish to find out more about the STAS process, access application forms or contact someone to discuss a potential application or current certificate, please visit the SBSH website: SBSH.scot - STAS
